The CC Sabathia thread: Latest - CC a Brewer! (part 3)

[mkm13]

Well if this does go through I would like to think with 12 picks combined in the 1st 2 rounds of last draft and next years draft we could restock our minor league system. We also need to lock Hart up long term.

 

It is tough to see LaPorta go based on his talent and the fact that from all reports he is a real good guy...but IMO it will not hurt our future as much as one might think based on the fact we already stacked at the position he plays.

I'm pretty sure that you can't trade a player if he's on the DL, but can you trade an injured player who's not on the DL? I'm just thinking outloud after some of the posts a couple pages back speculating that Brantley could be included in the deal.

Since he isn't on the DL, it would basically be the equivalent of trading someone who missed a few days for personal reasons or something, wouldn't it? Unless there is some rule I don't know of, which is certainly a possibility.

I guess I was wondering if there was a rule about it or not. It makes sense that you can't trade a player on the DL, so it seems to me that there might be hurdles to jump if you wanted to trade an injured player not on the DL, if you could even do it at all.

This thread has been viewed over 86,000 times already! Over/Under on reaching 100,000 before an announcement is made? 430 uSers now logged in. Mark A is a genius! If we get CC, national attention will push local enthusiasm for the brewers into overdrive.

 

CC to the Brewers = Reggie to the Packers

Over.....assuming BF.net doesn't crash this evening before the announcement! I want him on the mound for the Crew tomorrow evening!!

If this goes down, will someone please post it in this thread as well as the Major League one.

 

Im on my cell phone refreshing this page.

someone on one of the indians boards just said:

 

"I mentioned before, we need to trade cc to the breweres for their top scouts. It is a simple idea."

[datrain711]

you want to talk about how pathetic I am. I'm sitting at my girlfriends place ready to go to summerfest, and I have a $50 food/drink voucher and free tickets, but yet I don't want to go until I hear something.

If, and only if, the Brewers win the World Series this year.

This from Indians Ink:

Buster Olney on SportsCenter:

 

Indians and Brewers moving closer to deal. In trade talks, they're at the "10 yard line". Dodgers have nothing. Rays aren't serious. Phillies are lurking in shadows.

 

And they just interrupted with Breaking News, Jonny Damon put on DL. Unbelievable. Ironic as well, considering yesterday I made a sarcastic comment saying how I was surprised the CC story is above the Damon injury on ESPN.

[Brewer Fever]

Hilarious! Olney is on ESPN saying the Brewers / Indians deal is at the 10 yard line and they halt everything with breaking news to say that Johnny Damon is going on the DL and ARod's wife is filing for divorce.

[Chio151]

But seriously, do we bat CC fifth? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

I want to attend at least three of his starts, and I'm guessing I'm not alone.

[imblotto]

Its nice to hear that the Brewers would get 5 of the top 35 picks next year if Sheets and Sabathia are gone (assuming they get CC).

 

Its kind of a win-win situation. Well, more of a win-don't lose too bad situation.

Might, it depends on who signs them.

[Brewer Fever]

Cain being told to report to Huntsville is a pretty dramatic step.

[RyDogg66]

TH says Laporta and Green and another prospect. Lets hope it isnt Brantly. It isnt Cain because he was told to report to Huntsville to replace LaPorta.

[MoneyballMan]

OH MY! But I want him to pitch tomorrow night for us!!

[SeriesFinale]

Interesting that Cain's not going, although I'm heartened to hear it reiterated (again) that Gamel and Escobar will still be around. Ten-yard line? Seems like it's 1st and goal at the one.

Whats the stipulation?

 

[agent39]

Cain is not in the trade, he was promoted to AA today. I guess TH got on the ball early today http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[mkm13]

I just hope Jack Z is still around for next years draft.

[thablingster]

The new TH post definitely makes this seem plausible. Cain is on his way to Huntsville so he's out, Green is probably in, who is the third prospect seems to be the last remaining thing to be hammered out. I'm guessing as someone said earlier Cleveland was probably given a list of guys to choose from and they're in the process of doing that.

 

I wasn't a big fan of this deal at first, but looking at how weak the NL appears to be this year and how we fumbled away a golden opportunity last year it is nice to see us attempting to be a major player this time.

[mkm13]

I really hope they did not replace Cain with a better prospect.

[brewtank34]

it's just a matter of time now. Obviously we all new Escobar wasn't a part of the deal, but it's a pleasure getting this confirmed by TH. I am truely drooling right now thinking of having Sheets/Sabathia/Parra with Soup and McClung being the 4 and 5.....are you kidding me...

 

George Webbs has to be freaking out right now.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I'm thinking the Indians wouldn't want Brantley too badly with Sizemore locked up for a while. Hopefully, at least.
